Q

What is FRF based on?

A

Final Reserve Fuel (FRF) is the prescribed minimum fuel needed to fly at 1,500 feet above the Alternate Airport or, if an Alternate is not required, at the Destination Airport at holding speed in ISA conditions. In normal conditions, a usable amount of fuel equal to or greater than FRF is required to be in the fuel tanks until completion of the final landing.

Nominated FRF is 2700kg for the A330. (Max LW, ISA +15, 1500’, 30 Mins)

Q

What is the definition of Trip Fuel?

A

The sum of the fuel required to depart from the departure runway, or the point of inflight replanning, to touchdown on the expected arrival runway. In practical terms this is the sum of Flight Fuel and Approach Fuel

Q

If your Min Required is 12.0t and you take MOR Fuel of 12t and refuelling has now finished. You then you get to the aircraft and there is 450kg in the centre tank what would you do and a total fuel displayed of 12.0t as the engineer comes up for you sign to for the fuel?

A

As CWT fuel is considered unuseable and we are now still pre-flight as we haven’t pushed back yet you would have to get the tankers back and top up.

Q

You’re at the main wheel bogies doing your walkaround and you notice that the gear pins are still in. You can’t find an engineer in sight so what would you do now?

A

Flight Crew should not commence walkaround checks until the landing gear pins are removed.

If, for any reason, landing gear pins are required to be re-inserted, the pins must be displayed to the Flight Crew prior to being stowed.

What about the trim tank?

A

200kg
Check Trim Fuel on Final Loadsheet) Where is that? Also FAM 17.1.7.3

34

Part of your Before Pushback Procedures are to check the Loadsheet MACTOW GWCG and ECAM GWCG are within what percentage?

A

2%

35
Q

If the Loadsheet MACTOW GWCG and ECAM GWCG are outside of the 2% range what do we do?

A

Check the ZFW & ZFWCG correctly inserted then rely on ECAM CoG. Also check within LTS limits.

36
Q

The wind is picking up now from the East/South East now (25kts X-wind/5kts tail) and you’re about to take-off from runway 34R. You report ready and ATC give you a line up clearance and advise you of a previous departing aircraft (Dash 8) reported moderate undershoot shear on take-off. What are your thoughts/actions?

A

?

37
Q

Describe your actions in the event of an RTO

A

?

38
Q

You do all that and depart and sure enough around 200’ you encounter windshear and get a reactive windshear warning. What are your actions?

A

?

39
Q

On our climb out we experience moderate occasionally severe turbulence. What speeds do you fly?

A

<20,000/240kt,
<20,000/260kts,
>FL350 0.8/A332, 0.78/A333.

40
Q

What’s the turbulence PA?

A

?

41
Q

We fly all the way down to Melbourne and are cleared an ILS for Rwy 16 with overcast cloud at 700’ on the ATIS.

What’s the height of the cloud above the ground?

A

?

42
Q

When would you set up for LVP v Standard Procedures?

A

When meteorological conditions require an Instrument Approach, Instrument Procedures or Low Visibility Procedures must be nominated.

When meteorological conditions do not require an Instrument Approach, when either manoeuvering visually or tracking via an Instrument Procedure, it is acceptable to nominate Standard Procedures.

Instrument and Low Visibility Procedures start at the commencement of the Instrument Approach. This is considered the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) or any point after the IAF where the aircraft joins the Instrument Approach.

In conditions where the ceiling or visibility are within 200 ft of the intended approach minima or 2,000 m of the required visibility, Instrument Procedures or Low Visibility Procedures should be continued to the minima.

(FAM)

43
Q

During an instrument approach, you don’t get visual and go-around. Describe a two engine go around?

A

?

44
Q

You carry out a successful landing and as you go to disconnect the auto-brakes for manual braking your brake pedals end up going all the way to the floor. What are your immediate actions?

A

?

45
Q

Do a take-off calculation for our first take-off today using the actual conditions.

A

?

46
Q

What can you tell me about Single Engine Taxi In?

A

?

47
Q

What can you tell me about fuel in the outer tanks?

A

Frost accretion expected, Fuel Remains in the Outer Tanks, Refuelling is planned.

48
Q

How long do you wait before entering the engine oil in the technical log?

A

Enter the arrival engine oil quantity indicated between 5 and 30 minutes after engine shutdown.

49
Q

How do you do a fuel quantity check after shutdown?

A

Check that the sum of the fuel on board and the fuel used is consistent with the fuel on board at departure. If the flight crew detects a discrepancy that is not usual, maintenance action is due.

(FCOM)

50
Q

Final Reserve Fuel (FRF)

A

Preflight, the FRF planned is 30 minutes of fuel at 1,500 feet above the Destination Alternate or, if an alternate is not required, at the Destination Airport.

Note:
DP1/DPD/CPE calculations have their own reserve fuel calculations as defined in the relevant sections of this chapter.

51
Q

Types of Holding Fuel

A

Weather
ATC
Isolated Airports (90min + FFR = 120 min EOD)

Fuel flow calculated at 20,000’

52
Q

When is ATC Holding Fuel is required?

A

Where ATC Holding Fuel is nominated in a NOTAM, this will be considered mandated ATC Holding Fuel.

Note:
This does not include Estimated Airborne Traffic Delays, as found in the Australian Enroute Supplement (ERSA).

53
Q

Contingency Fuel

A

The required Contingency Fuel inflight is 5% of the planned trip fuel from DPA to Destination.

On flights of less than 500 nm, where DPA is not planned, Contingency Fuel is 5% of the Trip Fuel for the remainder of the flight.
